All the single ladies—¦.all the single ladies—these are about the most exciting lyrics in the entire song, “Single Ladies” by Beyonce. I will give it up to the producers who decided that a choppy hand-clap beat would be great for getting people up on the dance floor. …

American Eulogy is the penultimate track of the record 21st Century Breakdown, a record by Green Day. Before I begin, this track is somewhat similar to the two musical epics, as I describe them, from American Idiot of Jesus Of Suburbia and Homecoming. Yes, American Eulogy is shorter but …

This album is all but a display of what a good pop/electronica album should be. A friend bought me this record last year, much to my surprise. I knew I liked “Here In Your Arms”, which had been introduced as a single beforehand, but I didn’t know any of …

I accidentally discovered this amazing singer named Vonda Beerman at YouTube. I was so impressed with her voice so I immediately researched the net about her. Well and good, for I was able to find out she has song albums on sale. So I was able to buy …

Splinter is the seventh studio album by The Offspring, produced by Brendan O’brien and released in 2003, three years after the bands last album Conspiracy Of One. The album is a welcome step away from the last album, and I am really pleased to see the band’s return to …

Overview —“ Side III of Tommy would have to be the side of the record where I feel that the tracks all connect the best together and the story really starts to pick up here. I had an understanding of what the concept behind Tommy is but this is …

I really respect Mary J.Blige as a singer cum songwriter, as she has certainly come a long way from bankruptcy, and now, writing songs for this album.

Overview —“ About a month ago I was trying to buy a couple of blacklight posters and I ended up purchasing them from www.blacklight.com. Overall, my experience with the company was positive and I’m satisfied with my order and the quality of the products. However, after that order I …

Being a combination between Drake, Jayz, Lil Wayne and Eminem this song is full of great vocals!! Its not your average rap song, its gives off more of a pop/r&b type of vibe. Im not a huge R&B fan but this song is catchy as all get out! These …

I was unimpressed by this release to a rather high extent. I think that the band did not go anywhere with this album, and it sounds rather backward and also kind of boring. Many of the songs on this album are cheap and forgettable, very easy to see through. …

The album by black eyed peas called “the energy never dies” is awesome. It is a different kind of music. It’s all upbeat, techno, dancing music. I like all of the songs. One of my favorite is Boom Boom Pow. I also like the names of the songs. It …

Train Of Consequences is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album Youthanasia. The track opens up with a heavily palm-muted riff by Mustaine before a very ehavy bass line comes in beneath this. Mustaine comes in with the vocals which certainly has that characteristic snarl of his …

Chores is a song by Animal Collective and is the third track on their album Strawberry Jam. Opening up with a vocal section immediately, Chores quickly transitions into a significantly faster section and is the quickest song to come on Strawberry Jam thus far. Perhaps some listeners felt that …

Hed PE are a very talented band. Most of their music is not for everybody, but for people who like hardcore metal and rap core. But, this album can be accessible to a much larger audience. On this album, like on no other album the guys from this California …

I first saw this band in Jan 05 at my university and thought they were amazing. This is their debut album and it is one of the albums of the year and is sure to recieve nominations come awards time. The album includes classic tracks such as …

Ain’t It Just Like You isn’t a typical Toby Keith song in many senses. I love the song though. She decides that she is going to leave, but she isn’t really that sure that she wants to go. He doesn’t want her to go so he prays, begs and …

This album occupies a special part in my heart. Every time I listen to it I am making a trip down memory lane, recalling the time when I was twelve-year old pre-pubescent Boy. This is why I try not to listen to it too often, to keep this album …

War Zone is a song by Slayer which starts off like most of Slayer’s tracks do: very fast and very heavy. I will say that the double bass in the introduction of this track sounds nice but the guitar part just sort of strikes me as generic and doesn’t …

Before purchasing “What We Saw from the Cheap Seats,” my exposure to Regina Spektor had mostly been listening to her songs on YouTube and, later, purchasing them on iTunes. As someone who had only listened to her light and happy songs, I was pleasantly surprised when I put the …

When this album was released many people were disappointed with it. To be honest, I was a little shocked when I first heard this record as well. The thing is, this album sounds almost nothing like the debut album by this band. Their previous album, released in 2005, sounded …

I have been a fan of the Black Eyed Peas music for some time; I like the mix of hip-hop, pop and dance, and it is great music to have on my IPod while working out. I downloaded their new CD, —˜The E.N.D.” as soon as it came out, …

Whole Lotta Love is a track by Led Zeppelin which appears on Led Zeppelin II. Page’s main guitar riff on this song has become extremely well known and it’s a good riff as well so there’s good reason for this. When you look for a track to start an …

From the opening strum of the song, you will eventually come to a conclusion that it will be great. Every time I hear the opening melody I always have the feeling that the song will be great throughout, and that instinct is always right, the song is pure EDM …
